I'll be following this and cant wait to hear the range report. I am in need of a cheap spotter and have looked at the Zuhmell stuff but been skeptical because they are now owned by Hayneedle (a company that owns and operates over 200 specialty online retailers) wich is who owns Binoculars.com and all the reviews at Binoculars.com seem almost "staged". The old Zuhmell stuff from before Hayneedle is good quality "cheap" optics. Birders used to rave about Zuhmell-Nowadays not so much.

I am pretty sure that these days Zuhmell is only available from Binoculars.com or their sister companies.

It is well built for sure and the glass is good. Hopefully next time at the range someone will have a Iowa or similar on hand to compare with. I'll try some photos thru both if I can. Just gotta find some ammo.
